Customer Reviews
Must See
Greatest documentary about underground music and culture since 2001’s ‘Scratch'
One of BFI’s Top 10 Great Hip-Hop Docs
The British Film Institute named Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton one of the best Hip Hop documentaries ever and I couldn’t agree more.
The film is beautifully produced, the characters intriguing and complex and the music is world class - a classic film and one of the best music docs of 2013/14
Amazing Music Doc
Honestly, I didn't know much about Stones Throw before I saw OVWAT. This is by far the best music documentary that I've ever seen. Peanut Butter Wolf and the rest of the Stones Throw team tell such a compelling story about life, living and loving hip hop. A must see.
